JGreat, I killed mine as well, glued it together for the time being. Price too pay for a removable setup, I guess.
*it's the cables... I have to rotate base for 180 and flip pitch axis... cause this way me or my son always nudge the cables acidentally... 
KYou can also buy 90° angled adapters/cables.
JCould I request views for and against mounting the Rhino on a LONG Monstertech mount on an IKEA desk, with vibration settings turned down very low to avoid it shaking the desk to bits - thanks.
(NB: My personal interest is in the Rhinos realistic trimming and aerofoil pressure NOT sensations of gear or airbrake travelling etc.)

BYou can turn all effects down or even select which ones you want and customise each one, lets face it you can always buy a stronger desk

Fhello, is this compatible with the VPC virpil sticks or do I have to order something more?
ANo, that’s all that’s necessary for a VPC grip
ANo adapters or such required
PEverthing was working fine.
I've open the case to tighten main gimbal screw and remount.
The stick center wasn't correct any longer. So tried a calibration.
But now I'm unable to have motor provide force any longer.
TM warthog buttons works.
I can see stick moves in windows game controller window.
I have try
Reset Firmware defaults.
Auto calibrate.
Master Gain Main 100%
Effects Springs 100%
Everything works, except there is no force, stick can move freely.
Motors have a green light. There is 24V on all pins with screws.
Firware update button cannot be activated even if connected,
may be because FW version is latest one.
I'm lost.
Except return the DIY kit 57BLF03x2 for check I have no idea what to do.

WCan you post a screenshot of your configuration?
PGot your answer per email " your global spring gain is currently at 0% - hence no centering spring force will be available",will try this. Thanks
WDon't forget to "Store Config" so your configuration doesn't reset after device restart
PSolved. Thanks.
PI don't understand how to have a correct center.
1) I turn the pulley to have rawX,rawY belt not installed near to 2048 in Auto calibration
Than apply/store.
2) Mount centering tool. Mount the pulley.
Autocalibration. Apply/store.
And sitck is not center.
Do I have to unscrew the pulley to have stick center (which is impossible for my case,
I need to unmount the motors to have access to pulley tiny screws) at some time ?
With centering tool set as in picture 2, how store 'this is my center' ?

WYou don't have to change anything more physically - your calibration is within 0-4096 bounds, which is good.
Do the auto calibration routine and save the settings.

POk, thanks.
There is no 'store center'.
Center is computed from Xmin/max Ymin/max calibrated.
Correct ?

AYes, correct. You should be able to just press "auto calibrate", read what it says in the box and press OK, move the stick forward, back, left, right, and press the auto calibration button again to exit calibration mode. Then press "store settings" for it to take effect.
Btw, personally I don't see the need of the centering tool but maybe it's me not thinking it through (as long as you are within the one rotation of the motors, at least when connecting/powering on). I didn't use the centering tool when I assembled mine but maybe I'm lucky

Nyour stick is sagging from center, most likely due to grip weight and extension offset (can't see what you've got attached in your photos). Also, your pot is assigned to master gain and set to %50, so you're only getting %50 of whatever spring effect strength you have started in the effects tab.
Spring is weakest at center. You should use the Balancing Procedure to counteract the sag caused by the grip. Once you have that satisfactorily configured, I recommend using the "adaptive recentering" feature in the effects tab spring settings.

BHi guys, does anyone has the 3D print model of the threaded insert to attach the grip when I take it out from the Rhino? I need to be taking it out frequently as I have a flight/racing sim setup and would like to have a nice place to keep the grip near the rig once I take it out instead of the floor
BThank you!
SI’m having issues with telemFFB connecting to DCS. Worked with no issues a few days ago, haven’t changed anything. Any ideas?
DI'm a little stress this morning but you'll find this 3d file in this discord (sub DIY normally). Walmis had linked theses files here
KDo you search this? I'm not sure if I understand you question.

BThis is exactly what I need, thanks @kaltokri !!
BNice solution, already "printed" as well, thanks @Blackrat !
FThere also is a metal variant of that adapter which I would get if I would take the thing off a lot
BI did ordered that one with my Rhino, seems like it came mounted in the Rhino already
MQuick support question regards the VPF shift register…….connected to VPF control board as per schematic provided on this Discord…..and checked with DIMM that connections are sound and correct.
Will it work, that is button presses register in the VP Configurator app if board is only powered by USB……..motors not yet connected with power…….i thought the board itself is powered by USB 5v and so therefore the shift register should work…..right?

BI got the metal one anyway for longevity. plus I may swap between VKB and TM warthog.
TYes, USB connection should be all you need to see button presses.

Tmy belt got loose so I tighten it up but I was a dummy and didn't hit the E stop before taking belt off so now I had to re calibrate every single profile I had... I see this number is now RED is this a bad thing?
Tit is suppose to be around 2048 right how do I fix?
TRed number means you have a calibration value outside 0..4096. If you turned on your base with the stick in the negative X region it would not find proper center and would lock itself to one side. To fix it you would need to take the belt off, manually set the calibration range 0..4096, then put the belt back on with your stick centered.
TAnd then recalibrate
Tthank you so much that worked!
MThanks…..I guess I need to check the wiring again……none show up, indicating a ground issue but I’ve checked continuity and it’s fine……mmmmm
I wired it up as per pic attached. Selected VP shift register as the grip selection……switches to ground on Shift register and to each of the 32 input positions, but nothing …….is there something else I have to enable?

TButton wiring is the issue. Each of those 4 pins are buttons. They connect to the ground from the VPF main board. So in your pic you have
yellow/yellow/yellow/black
but in reality it’s
yellow/yellow/yellow/yellow to separate GND
yellow/yellow/yellow/black
but in reality it’s
yellow/yellow/yellow/yellow to separate GND
TIf that makes sense
Tsorry for the crude drawing
MActually as per your pic is how it’s wired…….the pic I posted was from a pic I downloaded from somewhere else on this discord to help with how the connection between shift register and VP control board. My switches are all connected to ground in series and the other side of switches to respective input on Shift register sequentially. So if there is no other requirement to do, it must be either board faulty or I’ve connected something wrong???
M
TOn the 6 pin input connector I see 5 wires which is correct but it looks like they are in positions 1-5? Hard to tell so maybe not but are you sure that is all correct? Looks like it’s missing GND but maybe that’s on the screw terminal?
TIt looks like DI is connected for some reason.
TMaybe I see a GND wire hiding back there.
MHere is a better pic……D1 is wired but goes nowhere as not used…..D0 goes to D1 on VPF board. I’ll recheck connection between boards again.
